Interesting that the article was written years before Trump. Republicans don’t just get to blame Trump. They bear responsibility for enabling an anti-science, anti-education culture.[/quote]
Concur. It’s even worse that the congressional republicans probably don’t actually believe that climate change isn’t human-caused. They pretend to believe that, and they try to sell it to their constituents, but they probably know better.
Con man don, on the other hand…
When he was running for president, before I knew much about him, I said to a friend, “this guy really has his finger on the pulse of the manipulated right wingers.” My friend said, “no, he is one of the manipulated right wingers.” It turns out my friend was right. I think trump actually believes the crap he reads on breitbart. I know, he used to be moderate to liberal on a few issues. He’s easily influenced, though. He is notorious for being susceptible to the sales pitch of the last person to talk to him. And with the king of the alt-right in the next office whispering in his ear all the time and with his frequent reading of breitbart articles and, astoundingly, infowars articles, he’s gone full-tilt, brainwashed, batshit-crazy alt-right.
And, as long as fox propaganda and the rest of the right-wing media are putting a positive spin on everything he does, the manipulated right wingers will continue to support him.
